pacman3211 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) Arcadia 2001 controllers are removable just like intellivision 1, if you remove the casing. it has 11 pins instead of 9. if I acquire one i'll try to connect it. If it works on intellivision 1, then this nice looking controller will also work. it is the same system. https://en.todocolec...spiel~x61605660 Edited March 28, 2019 by pacman3211 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intymike Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 It has only 2 side buttons with 1 function and the disc has only 8 directions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) You can see how the arcadia 2001 controller works here. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/282508-repairing-an-arcadia-2001hmg-2650-controller And the intellivision controller here. http://arcarc.xmission.com/Web%20Archives/Deathskull%20(May-2006)/games/tech/intvcont.html Although the construction is similar, their signals are very different. The intellivision keypad sends two signals for each button press, while the arcadia 2001 alternates scanning one signal (column or row). The arcadia 2001 action buttons are the same as keypad 2.
